Queen Latifah and Will Smith are joining forces to bring the rapper-turned-actress’s life story to the big screen to show the rise of a cultural icon who transitioned seamlessly from music to film.
A feature film about the life of Queen Latifah is in the works and Will Smith is producing it. The movie will be the first in a slate of independently financed hip-hop biopics hailing from Flavor Unit Entertainment, Westbrook Studios and Jesse Collins Entertainment. The film will follow the ascension of Latifah as the performer became a rapper, singer and actress who has won Emmy, Grammy and Golden Globe awards.
